The Dance That Changed Animation Forever
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 10. 2020
- In the year 1991, the Walt Disney Animation team achieved something that had never been done before. With the completion of the dance in Beauty and the Beast, animation history had been made. A fully computer generated background was achieved, rendered with realistic textures, reflections, assets, lights, and shadows. This is the story of how that team accomplished this.
Since that legendary dance, animators across the globe have utilized this process to push the boundaries of what is possible with animation. Every year, more and more studios use the techniques and technology that stemmed from Beauty and the Beast, and it fascinates me every time I see it. Let me know what your favorite use of CGI in animation is in the comments down below!

@@DrewMalou Me too, I really hope they give the animators the time they need to perfect the CGI. The movement in AoT is really what enhanced the emotion the story provided
So, you telling me that Beauty and the Beast paved the way, so that show like AoT can exist....

Hard to believe that the almost dance like fighting between characters and monsters can be credited to the first dance with a monster
There are definitely other inspirations, but I think that I lot of the unique moving 3D backgrounds owe a large debt to Beauty and the Beast. I find the mixed media technique fascinating. Thanks for watching!
Haha, that's true! Anime did take a big chunk of inspiration from Disney and the West, and I agree, wish we would return the favor and take some inspiration from them right now!
@John joseph Corona This is why Avatar: The Last Airbender is still good. They got inspiration from the East. The animators were even required to watch Evangelion.
@John joseph Corona even in terms of techniques using, they just completely missed the whole point of animation. Currently it's just CGI shows
@@DrewMalou we will eventually. As anime becomes more popular, kids, teenagers, and young adults will draw inspiration from them and incorporate that style into future works. It also helps that more and more people are becoming tired of the poor story quality coming out of Hollywood, and are starting to look overseas at other styles of media. I’d give it by the end of the decade if not sooner where we will begin to see anime style artwork and animation influencing American made shows and movies.
Attack On Titan's animation is on another level, along with its soundtracks. You'll hear the most well orchestrated masterpieces by Hiroyuki Sawano.
That's so true. That man writes such incredible scores of music!
Yeah the anime is amazing, way better than the manga in my opinion.
I certainly did not like the ending, but still i feel that its a amazing anime despite of it.

@@mananghildiyal2675 true
Animator: "So what's our budget?"
Producer: "Yes"
Hahaha, animation budget go brrrrrrr.
Thank you for watching! 😆
The little meme he tossed in was what I was thinking of.....😂
From what I understand, AoT didn't really have that much of a budget. It wasn't a fly-by-night operation, since Wit Studio had startup funding from Production IG, but the AoT Production Committee didn't put much money into the show and had very demanding schedules.
The reason the show looks so good is because of the A-list of talented lead animators who would compete with each other for the most sakuga-filled sequences, and the animation schedule was non-stop crunch for the teams.
You can see the cracks in the seams when you look at the dialogue-heavy scenes - 90% of the dialogue scenes in Seasons 1-3 are static shots of static characters against static backdrops and if you were lucky - _if you were lucky_ - you might get some lip flap.
The money situation improved when the production committee finally realized how popular the show was (they literally thought the live action movies were going to be more popular than the anime) in the fourth season, and brought MAPPA in-house, allowing MAPPA to get returns on investment from blu-ray sales, whereas Wit as an outsourced studio never saw an extra dime from the hard work they put into the show.
@@Vasharan That’s sad, they are amazing for being able to pull off what they did with those limitations, I hope Wit Studio is still pulling out good stuff today

This is... the strangest animation essay I have seen. Showing a Disney movie's influence on exclusively anime footage is one thing. Then there's this guy dropping a _three-minute_ AoT compilation. "Well, he must be presenting Titan's awesomeness in a 'show-don't-tell' way, the video will probly conclude afterwards!" I think... "nah, I'm gonna tell y'all as well now" says Drew suddenly
Haha, it is a little unorthodox. I figured I'd let the animation speak for itself. 😂 Thanks for watching!

Clever asf , you can't disagree.
The payoff to the AoT buildup was only as good as it was because of how you explained how difficult that type of animation is. Freaking great video.

Yeah! Like as someone who took animation class one time and I experienced how difficult it is to do. Take that perspective and my appreciation for the art of animation rose to new heights and this video, I mean it made me wanna cry because of how beautiful the AoT animation was, to see how much the art of animation has advanced and grown over the years!
Ik, I recently watched Sully and they did the same thing for this movie. It's an awesome idea

@@UNSCPILOT i remember about that time, the words "sillicon graphics" were whispered with almost religious reverence amongst graphic designers and animators.

My first thought when watching Aot was
"It's very *yellow* "
LOL. Definitely not wrong about that! Haha. Thanks for watching!
sickly yellow gives that feeling of dread and chaos, yellow doesnt mean danger for nothing. also most of the events happen during the afternoon-sunset, so ya know

Second thought,
"Oh wait there's lots of red too"
Same. And I also noticed that the characters had very thick and defining outlines. It looked really unique. Then the fight scenes submitted AoT S1 as possibly the greatest anime adaptation from a manga of all time.
"Let me introduce to a show called Attack on Titan"
*instant goosebumps!!
Haha, yeah! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Never in a million years did I think that Beauty and the Beast and Attack on Titan would be put together. However, this video compliments the similarities so beautifully, so seamlessly, that it couldn't help but bring a tear to my eye. Thanks for this video, as it brought a new appreciation for animation that wasn't there before. Well done my good sir, this is definitely getting a like from me, and I will definitely be subbing.
Heeeey, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the sub, and for the kind words! 😁

I mean, Attack on Titan does have a "Beauty and Beast" pairing: Mikasa and Eren respectively.
Historia and Ymir are also one, arguably.
It's a shame so many anime now use garbage low quality CGI that stands out considerably from everything else in the show.
Yeah, there are some unfortunately bad examples, haha. It can definitely become an eyesore! Thanks for watching!
Demon Slayer though eeeeeeeeh? 😁
It's partly because there are more small companies making anime - its become more affordable to make because of CGI, but the downside is that it's usually not the best stuff. Crunchyroll will fund anything these days. On the flipside, we now have Netflix funded anime like Violet Evergarden, which really shows what big-budget anime can look like. It's the most stunning, fluid anime I've seen in terms of lighting, animation, design etc.
Violet Evergarden is one of my favorites!! It's just such a well done show. It's soooo beautiful. And good points about the small studios, that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for watching!
Beastars looks amazing and it's mostly CGI
This went from being about Beauty and the Beast to Attack on Titan. My two favorite things and I could not be happier
Haha, I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
So glad there are people who like the same shows as I do. 😄
god, that AoT montage gave me chills all over. it's going to be a while before we see anything as phenomenal and masterful as this show again. unforgettable.
Haha, I agree! It was such a unique experience. And thanks for sharing, I'm so glad you enjoyed the montage! Thank you for watching!
Idk man. Not saying AOT is bad, far from it, but their are a lot of other good anime and manga that rival it. assassination classroom, one piece and dragon ball.
I never realized how incredible this was when I watched it as a kid. Knowing the amount of work they put into it gives a new sense of awe and appreciation
Yes, I agree! Such a crazy amount of effort they gave to make something so unique. Thanks for watching!

When it's done right, you don't notice it. The job of CGI is usually to be completely invisible.
@@LaurArt_UK Otherwise you get Berserk 2016. You don't want Berserk 2016.
From an animators point of view, attack on titan is a true masterpiece.
The way the characters move, whither they're just walking, running, talking, catching, carrying or setting things down, or when they're fighting or using their ODM gear, the attention to detail with each and every movement the characters make is absolutely phenomenal.
Yes, I completely agree! It's such a cool show to study. Thank you for watching!

The people behind the AoT adaptation are geniuses. They made 3d not look out of place by only doing 3d on buildings and not on characters in fast-paced scenes where they can simply blur out mistakes and hide imperfections using motion blur. The characters in fast-paced scenes are typically maneuvering in the air, running or just having their feet off the ground, also removing the "floating/weird footing" look when a 2d character stands in a 3d rendered area.
(an example of a weird footing/floating look when a 2d character is in a 3d space is in 9:46, check the footing on the guy casting something while the camera changes perspective)
Good observations! They really did do some incredible 3D work... thank you so much for watching!
In terms of Attack on Titan (and other anime) It's more literally frames=money (per drawing pay) for some studios and time=money for others (salary pay, which is very rare). A scene could have limited animation but still move crazy dynamic and the animator would get paid less than someone who's scene isn't as dynamic but uses more frames. And in terms of budget, I don't think Attack on Titan had anything special compared to other shows budgets, they just had the animators, schedule and episode structure down pat. Anime usually don't get financial special treatment unless it's pokemon or something, they had a budget increase for x&y but that show didn't end up looking like one punch man, it's all about planning, structure and talent.
Great points! The paying by frames is interesting for animation. I know that WIT studio had staffing and other production issues (which lead them to use MAPPA for season 4). And if I recall correctly, I believe the budget for each episode of AOT was around $150k - $250k, which I believe was significantly higher than most shows. But yeah, the "movement=money" definitely would apply to salaried animators, like the Disney team, where certain scenes would just take longer to completely animate. Thanks for watching and for sharing the knowledge!

Why does it feel like Japan appreciates 2D animation (I mean, primarily 2D) and its possibilities a lot more? I mean, just look at how much 2D animation has evolved with shows like Attack on Titan vs the adult shows in the U.S. (that still have that flat, Flash-esque animation, etc.).

I- I am speechless
Btw AoT is my favorite anime I've ever watched
Thank you! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. AoT is one of my favorite animes as well! Thanks for watching!
Everyone's talking about Attack On Titan, so I just want to congratulate you on the choice of music. Fire Emblem Three Houses OST? And it's Apex of the World? Hell yeah
Hahahaha, yesss! So good. I unfortunately have still not played Three Houses, but the OST is just incredible. Its definitely on my list! Thank you for watching!

Don’t forget music from Smash Bros! Not sure what I remember hearing, was it FD or Battlefield? Appreciate the music choice man :)
Thank you! And yes! Stickerbrush Symphony is in there. 😁
James Baxter is really a legend! He's animated not only this gorgeous scene but countless other memorable scenes for Disney! One that really stuck with me is the scene in hunchback of Notre Dame when Quasimodo lifts Esmeralda before the crowd - James can really nail camera turns
Yes! He is a master of perspective shifting shots. He has a similar one in Spirit where the camera does a 180 around the horse. Those shots are so cool!
Its kind of funny how all your examples are anime.
kind of makes sense as there is such a huge catalog which actually pushes technique compare to western animations aside from Disney itself, though the short Dreamworks spectacular 2d era is also a great example.
Yeah, I definitely could have used more Western examples, and DreamWorks is a great example! Haha, thanks for watching!
Just because someone doesn't use dynamic camera movements doesn't mean it's not pushing the boundaries
@@afsana190 I never said anything about camera movments, just that there is a larger pool of animation to pull from over the decades than has been produced in the west so by the statistics of quantity alone there are likely to be more examples of innovative quality.
Aot was the first anime that started my entire anime journey and after such a long time of watching other great productions i gradually forgot about it and this vid made me cry because of the fact that i can't believe i forgot my used to be favourite anime and that it was so good
Awww, that's so amazing! Thank you for sharing that with me. It means so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I too love AoT and am glad you remembered your love for it as well! Thanks for watching!
And you can pretty much thank AoT for Xiao (Teyvat's Levi) lol.
Lol, still haven't played Genshin Impact, but now I know who I'm going to main! 🤣 That's one of the reasons I chose Dual Blades in Monster Hunter World, because you can fly around like Levi! Haha
Likewise, it made me fall in love with anime and manga
It's pretty sad that MAPPA's animation didn't live up to AOT's reputation😢

Haha, sweet! I'm so glad it had that effect on you! That's exactly what I was going for, so I'm glad it worked. 😁 Thank you for the kind words, and for watching!
HOW IS THIS SO UNDERRATTED OH MY FLIPPING WORD. HE IS SO NICE AND AWESOME AND GOES SO IN DEPTH
Thank you for the compliment! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, that means a lot to me!
Yea.. After watching almost all of his videos.. U can literally notice he puts so much time and efforts in his videos. He definitely deserves to be recognized.

That's so sweet of you to say! Thank you for the kind words. I'm just glad people enjoy the videos as much as I do! Haha. 😆
Love Live has used 3D CG in their dance animation for over a decade, and it has advanced so much since they started using it, now with the CG almost looking like the hand animation
everything about snk just hit _right_ and really cements how amazing animation can be as a medium of storytelling. it's one of the reasons why i picked up art in the first place again after so long, and my driving force to continue working hard to get into the animation industry.
Yeah! I wish you the best of luck on your animation journey!
i love how the last third of this video just showcased all the best attack on titan animations haha it's such a great and awesome show and I'm so glad to be here watching it unfold.
Also i'm subscribing great video man 👍
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I thought it might be a little long, but I really love AoT, so I just went for it, haha. Thanks for watching, and for the sub!
@@DrewMalou What are your thoughts on the animation in the fourth season of AoT so far?
I miss WIT, but there are still hype moments! But those sequences in season 1-3 were so epic. Haha
Agreed
I'm so glad AoT was mentioned. Wit Studio is GODLIKE
Yes, they are! Love their work so much. Thank you for watching!
"Mentioned"
Talk about an understatement
Repent of sin!
The Gospel:
JESUS died for our sins on the cross, HE shed HIS holy, innocent , precious blood for us (HIS blood washes away ALL sins) HE was buried but on the third day GOD raised HIM from the dead. All you have to do to be saved is: Believe in JESUS, trust in HIS blood. JESUS did everything for you, no works are required for salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9) . (Don’t forget to repent of sin. )!!.!.!,,,,
Yeah and their recent work on Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song had me floored
the insane thing about aot is that their budget was apparently only a bit above average than most anime, they just had a lot of time an extremely good team working on it
they wouldn't have spent that much time on it though if the manga didn't do good. Was selling alot during early in it's time now its been declining since people were just less interested.
I may dislike how AoT went in the last third but yes the animation in action scenes is incredible. Thanks for the lesson about Beauty & the Beast too, couldn't have guessed how much work that was and how new it was at its time, animation evolves so quickly !
You're very welcome, thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and yeah, it is insane to see how far people have taken the medium of animation.

I feel that this video essay is a masterpiece. I knew Attack on Titan was coming up when he said "there's one show in particular that is truly taking this technique to the next level". Still I got goosebumps and got a little teary eyed too! Made me appreciate AOT all over again! Thank you so much for this video and I'll be cheering you on. 😄
Wow, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! And this is very kind of you to say. Thank you for watching!
I can always tell when the animation in AOT was gonna be top tier because the rest of the episode would have characters talking with just 2 frames or have a bunch of pans of simple backgrounds. I learned REAL fast they were saving their frames for something.
Sometimes it would only be a minute of animation that incredible but it was ALWAYS worth it.
Haha, yep! Looks like you caught on to some of the tricks of the trade! 😆 Thank you for watching!
Watch Shirobako (it's an anime about anime production) if you haven't already. I didn't love it as much as many others (it is incredibly highly rated), but it is a solid and enjoyable show even in my opinion, and it gave me a whole perspective on animes after that, and I constantly started realising such things and many more you are talking about during watching animes.
I wanted to like but it was on 69 so I'll leave it like that 😂😂
I will put it on my list! Thanks for the recommendation.
This is why WiT studios is my favorite, their animations/CGI, details/lighting and background are top notch. Nowadays we don’t get animes with the same treatment like AoT S1-3 especially the first, sadly we are heading into an era of quantity over quality so enjoy the rare ones while you can
Yeah, WIT was awesome! Definitely going to miss their work on AOT. And yes, the age of quantity is definitely upon us, lol. Thanks for watching!
Looking back at it, I appreciate the animators working on Akira. It’s came out 3 years prior and IMO, still looks better, even compared to recent 2D animation
Yeah, that movie is insanely good! Thanks for watching.
It makes me SO HAPPY to hear someone refer to animation as A.R.T.❣️
It takes some artists years just to finish 1 painting which can earn them thousands, depending on their reputation.
Yet animation artists have to do infinitely more in LESS than a year & they get payed PEANUTS!!!
Yes! I have such an appreciation for animators and their art, but you're right, most of them don't get the remuneration they deserve! It is such a tragedy, especially when they make such lasting and amazing works. I suppose the biggest thing we can do is to spread the word about their work and support them as best we can! Thank you for watching!
especially in Japan it's completely tragic how animators are treated
Yeah, it's true. I feel like a lot of animators are mistreated. Pixar is also known for this. It's so sad.
U CAN'T expect me to imagine a 1991 dance scene with that Persona music on
Oh, I definitely expect you to! 😆 but seriously, thanks for watching!
"Let me introduce you to a little show called Attack on Titan"
I almost teared up no cap. The fact that it's literally on the 10 min mark it's just perfect, 10/10 anime
Yeah!! Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching! 😁
This is all the more reason why End of Evangelion is such an impressive film. Still looks better than most anime to this day.
This video just made me realize how great the animators are and how painstaking their work is but they still tackle with it head on and give us such great animations❤️
Yes! That is very well said. Animation is definitely a labor of love! Thank you for watching!
Attack on Titan clips with Apex of the World playing is something I didn’t know I needed
Hahaha, I'm happy that you enjoyed it! Definitely my favorite part of making this video. Thanks for watching!
@@DrewMalou Thank YOU for making the video!
You are most welcome! It was my pleasure. 😁
This has been in my recommended for the longest and I'm glad I took the time to watch. It's awesome to see how animation has developed to the point where AoT's fight sequences are now an integral part of the shows style and genre.
Yeah! Thank you for finally watching! 😄 And you're right, the fight scenes are a huge part of the show now!
Man the AoT team got really lucky when James Baxter joined them 😂
Haha, they definitely did! 😂
Jaaaames Baaaxter!
🐎
🏐
You just made me start appreciating the animators even more, thank you for enlightening me and educating me with this vid, lol its was great! (Agreed, AOT is one of my top fav animes)
Yeah! Absolutely, I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching, and leaving such a nice comment!
I just cried when you showed AOT man... the music made me so emotional god...
What was the music name btw? It sounds so familiar
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it, that's so awesome! The music is called "The Apex of the World" and is from Fire Emblem Three Houses. Thank you for watching!
Right??? The music was so familiar so I did some digging, and I found out it was so familiar with it bc there was a period of time when I looped the violin cover of The Edge of Dawn every night lol
Haha, yeah! FE music is soooo good! Thanks for watching.
btw thank for telling in the comments what is the music
so yeah thank you for telling in the comments
you earn my respect for helping finding this song
Yeah, of course! Glad to help share some awesome music! Thank you for watching.
Y'know, every minute more than 500 hours of content is uploaded to CZcams, it is humanly impossible to watch that sheer amount of content even with the will of John Wick himself. But every now and then you get that one video, that one creator that just blows everything else out of the water. A video that starts an ember at the sight of the thumbnail and then makes it erupt into a wildfire, pouring fuel with every word, fact every show mentioned turning a simple feeling of curiosity into a mega fan. This is what it means to make CONTENT, someone that doesn't chase after the next Viral, but leaves you with a sense of excitement, opportunity, nostalgia and then makes you want to run to whoever is the nearest to you and tell them everything you just learned. The best advertisements are those that aren't actually ads, the nuisance that makes you mash the skip button, but this, a simple video that rekindles every feeling of pride that you ever had for something
Wow. I am blown away by your comment! Thank you so much. It is remarks like these that remind me why I make videos in the first place.... it's not only to share the knowledge and facts of storytelling, but to celebrate the joy, hype, energy, and emotions that these stories impact us with! Thank you for reminding me of that. Thank you for watching. And the last thing I can say is that if you liked this video.... I'm just getting started!
😁👍
I’m truly starstruck by your comment. It is just like this video- unexpected greatness. Actually the comment section of this video is just so wholesome and surprisingly diverse and insightful as well that I have been reading every single one of them. I guess this is also goes to show how a great video like this can bring so much positive reactions (ofc, minus the unforeseen obsession of wanting to keep rewatching this video).
my eyes were opened. i never really appreciated or thought about the animation in such a way this video increased the amount of respect i have for animators. thank you
Yeah! Absolutely. Thank YOU for watching! I'm glad you're able to appreciate animation a little better now. 😄 That's so awesome!
PLEASE WHY WAS I ABOUT TO START CRYING WHEN HE SAID-
"let me introduce you to a little show called attack on titan"
Please the music hit and I was just reminded again of how amazing AoT is, story, music, and animation. It's literally my favorite anime of all time- so thanks for recognizing that :)
That's so awesome! That's exactly what I wanted! I'm so glad you were so moved and reminded of how good the show is. 😁 That is so dope. Thank you for letting me know, and thank you for watching!
@@DrewMalou Can I ask what the name of the BGM is?
During the AoT sequence, it's called Apex of the World, and is from Fire Emblem Three Houses! Thanks for watching!
@@DrewMalou I felt like a proud father since I have been advertising for a long time . I cried bro
Hahaha, heck yeah!! That's awesome man, I'm glad to hear it. 😁 Thank you for enjoying it!
AOT is amazeing, everything, plot, characters and animation, i just love it. And always when I see Eren, Mikasa, Levi and others "flying" through the city, forest or sth I only can say: WOW, somebody did a really great job.
Yes! I feel exactly the same way. It's just such a phenomenal show. Thank you for watching!
An example of amazing changing perspective in recent 2D animation would be from Steven Universe's last episode with White Diamond. There is a pan around the character that is so silky smooth I genuinely thought it was CG the first time I saw it. Guess who animated it? James Baxter.
Haha, I still haven't finished Steven Universe, but that sounds amazing! Need to go check it out. Gotta support my boy James Baxter, lol.
I cried multiple times because this is that beautiful.
Thank you! I'm really glad that it moved you so much. Thanks for watching!
"let me introduce you to a little animation called attack on Titan" MY GODS I HAVENT FELT SUCH GOOSEBUMPS IN A LONG TIME
Hahaha, yesss! It worked! I'm glad you felt moved by the montage, that is awesome. 😁 Thanks for watching!
AOT is such a goated show just finished watching all the episodes. Can't wait for the final part of the final season. Nothing about that show misses its too good.
I agree! Thanks for watching!
for me atot is ok, not too interesting, i enjoyed watching/reading jojos waaay more,but u respect your opinion

@@believeonjesus7215 I’m gay, see you in hell😍🥴
Lost count how many times I came back to watch this. Such a great video essay. Truly.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you like it. This video essay is definitely one of my favorite pieces of content that I've ever made. Thank you for the kind words, it means more than you know!
At this point, I honestly don't even know how many times have I rewatched that AoT montage
Haha, thank you so much! That's very awesome of you to say. 😁 Thanks for watching, I'm so glad you like it!
Lmao I love how this started as a video appreciating the work of Beauty and the Beast and later turned into an AOT love letter
Haha, yeah! It definitely did turn out that way, lol. Thank you for watching!
I hope to one day be able to help make animation like this
:)
Yes!! Me too. That would be so amazing. I can't draw a lick, lol, but it would be so much fun to be a part of the process. Thanks for watching!
same 😍
Attack On Titan honestly may be the best anime out there with amazing scenic animations because how fluent the movement is. I’m going to be sad now that the series is ending soon
Yeah, I agree, that show is so special! I'll be sad when it's over as well. Thanks for watching!
I never truly appreciated the movement and flow in AoT until now. It’s beautiful
Yeah! I'm glad you liked it. And yes, some of those scenes are just so well done, it's crazy. Thanks for watching!
This one was a doozy to make! I think it is my best one yet, however, so I hope you like it! What is your favorite use of CGI in animation?
Lol. Sounds like we need the power of friendship right about now!
Did you watch s4 ı really want to know what are you thinking for cgi they used
The movie Children of the Sea. They used CGI SO EFFICIENTLY. I'd love to see you review this movie, for all the technicity and care that went into the backgrounds. The opening scene with the girl going around town is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.
I did! Thought there were hype moments, but the action scenes were a bit lackluster. I heard MAPPA didn't have much time, though, so I'm excited to see what they produce for S4 Part 2!
I haven't seen it, but I will put it on my list! Thanks for the recommendation!
lmao got wayyy to hyped when he mentioned attack on titan
Hahahaha, ohhhh heck yeah! Glad I wasn't the only one. 🤣 Thanks for watching!
The title, plus the thumbnail made me immediately think of the one thing Beauty and the Beast and Attack on Titan have in common, that dynamic camera movement with the ballroom and with Levi swinging between buildings. That ballroom scene really was the first instance where 3D elements were incorporated in a 2D animated production to make animation beyond interesting and the production team behind Attack on Titan did it better than anybody else, by far.
Unfortunately some people fail to acknowledge the significance of using 3D models to make animation more convenient and the hardwork that goes into it.
I'm glad you got that from the thumbnail! I wasn't sure if people would understand it or not, haha. And yeah, I personally love the mixed media animation stuff. I think it's such a cool way to utilize technology! Thank you for watching!
You actually made me hyped about AOT eventhough I did't really enjoy it that much (I enjoyed big parts of it, I just had some major issues which hindered me calling it a favorite).
Now I kinda want to rewatch it. xD
Haha, yeah, I hope you do give it another shot! I might be a little biased, though, haha. 😅
11:59 I love this scene
Yeah! It's definitely a good one! Thanks for watching!
This is so underrated. The AOT segment made me want to get into watching it again
Yeah! 😄 Mission accomplished, then. Haha, thanks for watching!
God bless animators
Haha, exactly! 🤣 They do such incredible work. Thanks for watching!
Apex of the World building up to an AoT montage was just *chef’s kiss*
Didn’t realise how well Three Houses music fits with AoT until now.
Haha, yeah, it works surprisingly well! 😂 Thank you for watching!
my heart was actually RACING during that Attack on Titan display!!! *insanity.*
Haha, yes! Booyah! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Definitely my favorite part of the video. 😁 Thank you for watching!
Came for Attack on Titan. Stayed for the industry progress lesson.
Haha, heck yeah! Thanks for watching!
I wish this was the music that actually played during the ODM Gear scenes
Haha, that would be amazing!
I know I'm not the only one who's said this: but that AoT montage was badass
But that's just as a fan who's watched the show and already knows about it. I pray for the souls that never seen/heard of AoT and discovered it like *this*
Hopefully their souls are even still in their bodies.
Hahaha, thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it. I've only had a handful of people say they hadn't seen it, but they told me that this montage convinced them to check it out, so I consider that a win! 😄
@@DrewMalou Hell yeah! And honestly, this montage made me want to binge through the series again. So take your W and your crown, King.
